EXT → AGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Exeter International Airport (Exeter) to Málaga Airport (Malaga)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Channel Islands, the rugged Picos de Europa mountains in Northern Spain, and the diverse landscapes of the Spanish Meseta before the descent over the Andalusian ranges.
Channel Islands
Clear views of Jersey and Guernsey as the flight crosses the English Channel towards the French coast.
Brittany Coastline
The jagged peninsulas and turquoise waters of western France, specifically around the Brest region.
Picos de Europa
Dramatic limestone peaks in Northern Spain, often snow-capped during winter and spring months.
Castilian Plains
The vast, golden-hued landscapes of central Spain dotted with historic towns and windmills.
Sierra Morena
The final mountain barrier before entering the Guadalquivir valley and the province of Malaga.
Choose a window seat on the left to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun when flying south. Keep a keen eye out approximately 20-30 minutes after takeoff for the Channel Islands. For the best photography of the Spanish mountains, a morning flight provides the most favorable lighting angles.
Exe Estuary
Aerial view of the stunning Exe Estuary and the South Devon coastline immediately after departure from EXT.
Bay of Biscay
The deep blue expanse of the Atlantic, where you might spot large shipping vessels and tankers.
Western Spain
Views over the remote and rugged landscapes of Extremadura and the border regions near Portugal.
Costa del Sol
As the plane banks for its final approach, you get a panoramic view of the Mediterranean beaches west of Malaga.
Malaga Port
Excellent views of the cruise terminal and the 'Muelle Uno' waterfront area during the landing sequence.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset if your flight is in the late afternoon or early evening. Upon arrival at AGP, if the aircraft approaches from the sea (Runway 31), the right side provides the best view of the coastline stretching toward Marbella and Fuengirola.
